Abstract

A method for harvesting ultrasonic vibration energy based on piezoelectric and electromagnetic composite effects was proposed, to efficiently harvest vibration energy from ultrasound equipment and convert it into electrical energy. Aiming at the characteristics of small amplitude and large acceleration of ultrasonic vibration, a circular piezoelectric vibration energy harvester based on positive piezoelectric effect was integrated and designed in ultrasonic equipment to directly harvest and convert the micro ultrasonic vibration energy in equipment operation. A conversion mechanism was designed to transform micro ultrasonic vibration into macroscopic large-scale rotational motion, taking into account the characteristics of small amplitude and high frequency of ultrasonic vibration. Based on the electromagnetic induction mechanism, a rotational energy harvester was further integrated into the ultrasonic equipment to achieve the micro/macro conversion and acquisition of ultrasonic vibration energy. A piezoelectric/electromagnetic composite ultrasonic vibration energy harvesting and conversion model was established based on the piezoelectric effect and electromagnetic induction principle. The influence of model parameters on the the performance of ultrasonic vibration energy harvesting was simulated and analyzed, and the accuracy of the model was experimentally verified. Results showed that under the ultrasonic excitation with a frequency of 38.2 kHz and amplitude of 1.88 μm, the output voltage of the composite harvester was 46.7 V, and the output power of the piezoelectric and electromagnetic energy harvesters were 104.3 mW and 43.8 mW, respectively. The output power met the power supply requirements of low-power electronic devices.

为了高效采集超声设备中的振动能量并将其转换为电能，提出基于压电与电磁复合效应的超声振动能量采集方法. 针对超声振动幅值小、加速度大的特点，在超声设备中集成设计基于正压电效应的环状压电振动能量采集器，直接采集并转换设备运行中的微幅超声振动能量；针对超声振动幅值小、频率高的特点，设计将微观的超声振动转变为宏观的大幅旋转运动的转换机构，基于电磁感应机理在超声设备中进一步集成设计旋转运动能量采集器，实现超声振动能量的微观/宏观转换与采集. 基于压电效应和电磁感应原理建立压电/电磁复合超声振动能量采集与转换模型，通过仿真分析模型参数对超声振动能量采集性能的影响，通过实验验证了模型的准确性. 研究结果表明，在频率为38.2 kHz、幅值为1.88 μm的超声激励下，复合采集器的输出电压为46.7 V，压电和电磁能量采集器的输出功率分别为104.3、43.8 mW，输出功率满足低功耗电子器件的供电需求.
